Shuster + Moseley

The Cosmoscopic Key, 2018

Claudia Moseley and Edward Shuster are collaborative conceptual artists and propagators of ambient art, which uses artworks as instruments to tune the ambience or atmosphere of the psycho-physical life-world. The Cosmoscopic Key is a site-specific composition deconstructing the apparatus of a projected image-reality to create an immersive world of crystalline spectrality. Layers of optical prisms, lenses and (CMYK) coloured planes of glass orbit, radiate and mediate through a cone of light, and are ’keyed’ by the negative relation of darkness, through which the elements refract and spectralise.
